On my father’s suggestion, I started Tracking my habits — The good ones and the little joy-giving sins that do more harm than good.

I started tracking my habits almost 2 months back, and just this habit of consciously tracking my habit patterns has tremendously helped me break some of my bad habits and replace them with some positive ones.

Here’s a snapshot of my habit tracker from September and October.

October’s habit tracker is a little more organized and an upgraded version of September’s version.

I also embarked upon the #1000DayChallenge starting in October to build a better version of myself. Lately, I had to suffer a big enough loss to push me deep down into depression and make me question everything that I ever believed in.

This challenge was a self-reminder that “I am not my work, and I cannot, and I shouldn’t tie my identity to my work.”

I know my habit tracker looks messy and overwhelming, but don’t worry — “The only habit you need to keep a check on is to ensure that you are filling up the tracker”

The only habit I had to track was the tracking of my habits which involved me picking this journal up before I sleep, hence I keep this journal under my pillow so that I know if I missed out.

Here’s the physical change brought in because of the tiny habit of tracking my habits, and I think I am 10X better mentally.

And now, I am all set for 2021, cuz I can already see, and feel the difference of tracking habits in just these 3 months, and I like who I am becoming.

If a lethargic procrastinator like me is improving with this tiny habit, I am hopeful that you might find this helpful too.

Good luck.
